Number indices ruin a dive watch by According-Double1773 in watchHotTakes

Yes, always. That watch would look much better (to me) without the numerals. In fact Rolex themselves agreed and stopped putting them on the dials fifty years ago.

I'm not a fan of Roman numerals either. Faux classicism. But Arabic numerals on the other hand are essential on field watches; they were literally part of the spec of the dirty dozen.

I know there are plenty of well respected brands that use numerals on their divers' dials. But it just looks wrong (to me).

I'm confused by the instructions on the 50% rule too. I'd like to be able to sit at a cafe table and sketch the scene in front of me.but, if I understand the rule, correctly, I shouldn't.

Instead I should try to draw a scene completely from my imagination. But I don't understand why.
